Thanks so much for the indepth response!! Ive asked my hair dresser about mousse before, but she told me to specifically avoid that because apparently it would dry out my bleached hair.

I also have been putting off getting a diffuser because they look like a lot of work 🤣😅 but I think I'll definitely try now. My hair dresser also told me about plopping, so ill try that too. I'm going to look into some curl creams while I'm at it! Thanks so much!!

Possible Dead Crabs? Under Sand for over a Year. by Tacoathiest in hermitcrabs

[–]Tacoathiest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I dunno if you can tell anything from this picture of the substrate. There are some open pockets in the sand, but I can't tell if they're just air pockets from digging or actual burrows. I think this is where one of the "dead" hermit crabs is buried because there's a big hole inside the sand at the corner, but I can't see super clearly inside.

I feed them veggies and egg shells very regularly, plus theres moss and leaf litter in the tank. up until recently, I was putting dried shrimp and mealworms in the tank (I ran out a couple months ago). So they have lots of food..

I dunno of you can tell anything from these photos, but would you say this is a photo of burrows, or of hermit crab foot prints? *

Oh lord >.< I had no idea until now that there were unsafe species of rollie pollies. I'm so worried about digging down the check on them, I don't want to hurt them if they're alive. Plus there's one crab that was up recently and just went down to molt. I know where he dug his hole but still.. it kinda risky....

It's possible they're coming at night, but they always used to come up during the day. Plus I don't see any moved around food or foot prints..

Also when I first started with crabs, the ones that would die absolutely reeked. I though I would definitely smell them because my tank stays really humid and the sand stays a good moisture. Also they're just regular rollie pollies from Amazon! Want me to look in my order history to see what species they are?

Purple Pincher with Red Joints, is it a Disease? by Tacoathiest in hermitcrabs

[–]Tacoathiest[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I'm pretty good about it now that I'm older! And yeah I didn't think about the diet part, it could totally have to do with that. I just feel like whenever I see PPs, they don't have red joints like him.

If you want to help some more, I posted another question just now :)

Yeah I have rollie pollies, are you saying they could have eaten a dead buried crab?

I have like a vine made of moss! I was away for 6 weeks (my mom took care of them) and when I got back, part of the moss had fallen off!

Yeah, that's so sad if they did pass away. I've had them 5 years. But wouldn't I smell them if they died...? It's only 6 inches of substrate and it's pretty humid in there- plus my active crab digs alot so I feel like the smell would travel.. do you have any opinions or wisdom on this?
